Presenting a professional image: the right presentation display device for any audience
Article Abstract:
Computer-driven presentation monitor options are available with varying price tags and capabilities. A major determinant to hardware selection is knowing the size of the audience, however this is not the only consideration. Audiences of up to 50 people can use screens ranging from 27 to 37 inches. These types of monitors are often used in trade shows to capture the attention of people passing by. Big-screen video monitors from Pioneer Corp, Sony or JVC can be used as an alternative to computer displays. LCD projection panels are useful for the presenter who is constantly on the move; these panels weigh less than 10 pounds and can be laid on top of an overhead projector for a fixed-resolution image from the computer onto the wall or screen. LCDs and CRT data projectors can display a presentation measuring 10 feet or larger diagonally. Seven large screen monitors are listed, with information on screen size, interfaces, resolution, manufacturer and price. Twenty-three LCD overhead projection panels are listed, with information on colors, graphics standards, price, resolution and manufacturer. Fifteen presentation projectors are listed for the Mac and PC; information includes screen resolution, horizontal scan, diagonal screen size, video standards, price and manufacturer.

General Parametrics Photometric slide maker
Article Abstract:
General Parametrics' $4,495 Slide Maker slide recorder for IBM PC systems earns only two stars in a five-star rating system. While color and image quality are as good as the best of the mid-priced recorders when viewed from a mid-range distance, its text formatting and color problems when used with Harvard Graphics made one of the test slides unusable. A blue globe was rendered so dark that it could hardly be distinguished from the background, and substitution of an oversize typeface resulted in part of the text being pushed off the right margin. On another test slide the fine white type appeared slightly eroded when recorded at 2,000-line resolution and was even worse when recorded at 4,000 lines. The recorder uses fonts from the user's application program. It has a proprietary color preview feature that drives CGA, EGA or VGA monitors at higher than normal resolution, when used on conjunction with General Parametrics' $1,695 Colormetric Card.
